The program is designed to make simple two processes which are often attempted through the use of arcane UNIX commands. While WinTelnet & FTP Pro is no match for Windows clients like CuteFTP, NetTerm, WS-FTP, CRT, and the like, it is far better than using any client remotely similar to UNIX. The program allows for automatic logins for both the FTP and telnet client; additionally, multiple processes (or windows) can be opened for both types of clients. The telnet client provides a user-configurable toolbar for creating buttons out of the commands you use most often. The FTP client can also be launched directly from the telnet client in order to transfer files between the remote machine and your local one. The FTP client is a bare-bones implementation of the protocol and lacks many features found in similar standalone clients, including automatic renaming, right mouse button functionality, a quick-save command for remote and local default directories, selectable file viewers, selectable colors, drag 'n' drop, and more. The telnet client fares slightly better but still lacks many features that would make it more competitive. Overall, WinTelnet & FTP Pro, while light years beyond UNIX-based applications, ultimately suffers due to its lack of features. Pros: Integrated telnet and ftp clients, user-configurable toolbar, inexpensive Cons: Lacks many critical features found in the competition New: Pre-configured FTP and telnet sites added, bug fixes Version Reviewed: 1.0 Release 2 Date of Review: 6/4/96 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
